honestly one of the most insane things i’ve ever seen. i cannot believe this. i feel insane seeing this and it being real. everything is unreal

the bourgeois are not human.
it is an inhuman thing to willingly partake in such wanton and debauched cruelty. inhuman, unholy, demonic.
either they go, or mankind does. there is no other option now.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

The whole fucking point is to accept personal risk as yourself and dare the state to do anything about it.

You are there to be seen, known, and heard. Not to cosplay as an antifa super soldier.

tonight's AI discourse lightning round:

1. LLMs are not people and do not have rights; many real people's rights are being violated in the development and deployment of LLMs

2. if you're really attached to using fake slurs for robots you might want to examine why that is

Once the regime can pick who is a citizen and who is “illegal,” they can simply incarcerate, seize the property of and disappear dissidents.

Yes. That’s you.
You’re next in line.

does anyone feel a bit insane by the entire state of the world

i love music. i love art. i love creativity. i love how people keep creating regardless. i hope it never stops. i hope it prevails forever.

PICARD: These “Borg” are a curious blend of organic and machine, a culture so sublimated to its own technology that the line between natural life and technological facsimile is porous and thin.
RIKER: (nude in the holodeck) it’s insane they let us nut in the computer

People think that conservative backlash is proof that we should take progressive change slow but actually its the opposite. We need to push through left-wing change at a blistering and impossible-to-keep up with rate the same way the right-wing does their cultural initiatives.

switch to linux btw. do it now.

1) use dual boot if you don't wanna lose windows. you prob won't need it but option's there

2) get linux mint. it's literally designed to look and feel exactly like windows & runs wel ootb

3) ventoy.net makes installing it super easy. website looks shady, is legit!

It must be exhausting to live this way.

My beautifully old copy of Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels

Yeah i read scripture

skipping the switch 2 preorder madness by being simply Too Unemployed 😌

can't remember who I saw say this, but..."antisemitism" is currently being used the way "communist" was during the red scare—as a slur against disfavored opinions and groups and as a justification for the revocation of all right. it's really bad. 1

I have a lot of reasons to be angry. This Ramadan didn’t feel like a Ramadan…this Eid doesn’t feel like Eid.

Holidays really remind you of how lonely and isolated you are.

Thank God for friends who are willing to celebrate with you, even though they’re not Muslim.

i'm sorry but "militant atheist who is pro falun gong" might be one of the funniest incoherent political positions i've ever heard in my life

If you're going to be an insane tranny on here you also have to be funny otherwise I think you should delete your account and become a monk or learn how to sail a boat

Hey just for the record, Free Palestine.

no shame to detransitioners it's ur body do what you want. if you make your detransition a whole public ordeal and give talks about detransitioning and encourage others to follow suit, especially in this current political moment, I think you're probably just Actually Evil to at least some degree

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

We still need to freaking solve climate change. Everyone needs to hop off the liberal train and get with the communist program. Like last year

so why does a mid voyeuristic movie with no intimacy coordinator win best picture. who the Fuck #Oscars

photo of a restored Acorn Risc PC600, inside the Risc OS environment it is also running a windows emulator using an internal 486 pci card. It may appear to be kind of a boring computer but it is actually extremely cool

photo of an original Grid laptop computer, it is black and although it is turned off, it is listed as having the super cool glowing yellow screen which I love. Its looks like a special computer but just runs DOS which is kind of boring

Really old computer, I am guessing it is tube based. The form factor is like a desk with a few cool buttons and large aqua colored panel. It looks like high quality machined aluminum. Fans of the tv show Severance would probably love this thing

met some pretty special computers today!

Something people may not realize: a lot of the paper used to print books in the US are from China. In fact, a lot of the books are PRINTED in China, esp the ones from big publishers.

Expect the price of paper books to really hike soon. If you want paper copies of your favorite books, get them now.

Since apparently all federal government websites will go dark tonight, I'm spending the afternoon on nhgis.org to download Census data. This great website is run out of the University of Minnesota so it should still be up, but you never know.

i understand and am sympathetic to the sense of fear this is coming from and maybe i am overestimating the goodness of people as a whole, but i simply do not believe this is true
